In this case, the supplier must ensure that an immediate resupply in perfect condition takes place.
In addition, remedial measures must be taken to ensure that such damage does not occur again.

11. delivery

11.1 Delivery frequency
allsafe GmbH & Co KG depends on flexible and fast delivery in small lot sizes. In order to achieve this, we strive to give our suppliers advance planning of our main products.
In order to make the processes as efficient as possible we need partners who are basically willing to optimise their processes and adapt to our needs.

11.2 Disposition/Order Processing
Wherever possible, allsafe GmbH & Co KG works with framework agreements (also called call orders or open purchase orders). These framework agreements regulate all important points such as total quantity, price, packaging, duration etc..
The classification of the products defined in the framework agreement are usually given to the supplier via a closed purchase order.
As we are constantly striving to optimise our processes, we are increasingly using other forms of order processing, such as Kanban, continuous supply, forecasting and self-control of various product groups. This means that we will generate our requirements less and less via a purchase order. Instead of a purchase order, flexible planning will be used, which the supplier will cover with corresponding capacity reservations.
These different planning systems also have a positive effect on the overall delivery time of the products, since, for example, input materials can be planned by the supplier according to the planning.

11.3 Delivery time/delivery reliability
The delivery time agreed upon with allsafe GmbH & Co KG must be strictly adhered to. The supplier is rather obliged to constantly improve his processes and thus to reduce the delivery time or to adapt it to our needs.
Should a delivery not be possible in the agreed time or should difficulties arise during production, the supplier is obliged to inform us immediately in case of potential disturbances and to initiate appropriate measures in order to keep the delay as low as possible.
In principle, the supplier is automatically in default of delivery in case of missed deadlines without this being explicitly formulated by allsafe GmbH & Co KG. Delivery time and delivery reliability are evaluated monthly within the framework of our supplier evaluation and also have a high priority there.

11.4 Goods receipt
For the clearance of incoming goods, allsafe GmbH & Co. KG requires the following information on the delivery note as well as on the goods:

In addition, all packages must be marked with the article number and designation. Wherever possible, the products supplied must be labelled accordingly so that their origin can be traced at any time. Furthermore, each delivery must be accompanied by the contractually stipulated and required test certificates. In the case of suppliers of extruded aluminium profiles, we require an EN 10204-3.1 certificate for the first 5 deliveries and an EN 10204-2.2 certificate thereafter, provided no deviations were found.

11.5 Safety management
The supplier shall promote a safety culture in which all employees have a high awareness of safety and proactively contribute to safety.

This safety culture also includes the exchange of safety-related information with allsafe GmbH & Co. KG as well as collegial cooperation in the identification and elimination of safety risks.
